[linux-audio-user] linux and "enhanced" CDs

[Dave Phillips]

Greetings:

  Another solution to this problem might be found with the Crossover
Plugin. It supports Windows Media Player, so perhaps you can invoke WMP
via the Crossover Plugin to play your legally corrupted CDs.

  What's the legal situation regarding the return policy ? If I
inadvertently purchase such a disc, can I return it for a full refund ?

Best regards,
